The Springboks are back in Rugby Championship action this weekend after spending time in a bio-bubble in Australia.
With the remainder of the tournament to be played in Australia, the Springboks will be looking to retain their Rugby Championship title.
South Africa will fancy their chances against a Wallabies side who are yet to win in this year’s competition after being out-classed by the All Blacks on the last two occasions.
Jacques Nienaber and his chargers find themselves in second spot on the table, one point behind leaders New Zealand who have 10 points.
New Zealand will face Argentina on Sunday before the Springboks face Australia at 12pm at the Cbus Super Stadium. The All Blacks are heavy favourites against Argentina and while South Africa are tipped to beat Australia, it is not a victory the Springboks can take for granted. The match will be live on DStv channel 201.
➤ The international break is over and local football returns to the screen with blockbuster action in the DStv Premiership.
The pick of the weekend is without a doubt Mamelodi Sundowns hosting Kaizer Chiefs on Sunday in a clash of two giants. Neither team got off to the best of starts with both outfits drawing one fixture and winning the other. While it is early in the season, bragging rights will surely be the prize on Sunday.
Sundowns take on the Soweto giants Chiefs on Sunday at 5pm on DStv channel 202.
➤ The US Open comes to an end this weekend in what has been a tournament filled with ups and downs.
The women’s singles, dominated by teenagers Leylah Annie Fernandez and Emma Raducanu, comes to an exciting peak when they face tough opponents in Friday’s semi-finals before the final on Saturday.
Novak Djokovic has continued his journey towards winning this year’s US Open which would give the Serbian tennis star an incredible grand slam of Grand Slams. If he wins this weekend he will have won every major in the calendar year.
Djokovic takes on Olympic champion Alexander Zverev in Friday’s semi-final before potentially playing in the final on Sunday 12 September.
All the final action will be televised live on DStv channel 214.
